Tarby and Feather - Don't Say You Love Me. A track on the upcoming Musiquestria compilation album to whet your appetite. The money from its sales will help send a group of top-notch brony musicians around the US on a massive tour including several conventions.
Perhaps some heavy 90s grunge isn't your thing. You can also support brony musicians in their quest to attend ALL THE CONS by checking out Rainbow and Rooted, a huge collaborative album along the lines of Balloon Party but with more diverse sounds.

k, watched a bit of it. Here are my thoughts thus far (clouded only by the oft-inane nipponese comments of nosub.tv users):

So far, good enough. Voices, characterizations of the way characters speak, songs, etc are all sufficient by my VERY RIGOROUS AND HIGHLY REFINED standards of japanese-language kiddy-cartoon voices.

But they've added in all sorts of stupid crap! hahaha

A longish OP and ED, sure, but also my little pony tv!!! lucky pony slot!! introductory talking before the show! ponies' gallery in the ED! pfffft

In order to have time for these stupid, mostly pointless things (especially the segment with a poorly-animated Twilight talking to a live-action Mimorin), they are cutting material from the actual show.
whyyyyyyyyyyyy

and of course Pony Canyon is one of the sponsors
of course they are
I mean, they sponsor everything, but this seems particularly suitable.

oh, and you know how the English theme song gets a lot of hate?
All I see is people complaining about the ending song, here. A solid wall of complaints. Cut the shitty ED out, they say. ゴミED, they say. Instead of skipping over the theme at the beginning like some people do with the original, they stop watching before the end.
As far as I'm concerned it's bland at worst, but whatever. Judging by the way some people are complaining about it, I think maybe the lyrics are somewhat threatening to RRRRRRR HETEROSEXUAL MALENESS RRRRRRRR? idk.

There's also people complaining about the voices, bad translations (there are a few), annnnd... all the same stuff nerds complain about with the English dubs of Japanese cartoons, actually. Nerds.

They seem to like the opening song well enough, though. I've only seen one person complaining about that so far, and they seemed to be more in defiance of the My Little Pony TV segment praising their own song than anything.

So I borrowed two of my nieces and saw the movie on the 23rd... the theater near me only had one showing that day at 10:30 a.m.

8 year-old niece after buying our tickets: Why'd they make a movie just for girls?
me: It's not just for girls. Monsters University isn't just for girls.
Niece: That's a family movie. My Little Ponies is just for girls.
me: Oh.. um, well just wait 'til we get in the theater. I have a feeling it won't just be little girls in there.

THE BRONIES OF RICHMOND DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

I walked in and immediately felt like I was 19 again going to my first anime convention.

That said, the movie opened with no fanfare, no trailers.. and it was, OK? I mean there were parts that were funny and cute like the last 2 seasons (I'd still argue that the show hasn't felt the same since Faust left.) But still, I'm glad I saw it and my nieces were enthralled. ... YET, there's a point in the final battle at the end of the film that I seriously had a hard time not laughing aloud. It just really crossed the ridiculous line for me somehow and made me wonder why, as a grown adult, I was willingly sitting in the theater just then.

In the future? I'll wait 'til any other movies end up on TV or Netflix.
